Purpose and Recommended Action
Recommendation
This is a request for City Council to waive reading beyond the title and adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with Luke Air Force Base, a Department of the Air Force Installation (Luke Air Force Base) for Solid Waste Collection, Container Maintenance, Landfill Disposal and Recycling Services. This IGA will become effective upon signing by both parties and will remain in effect until September 30, 2021. There are no automatic renewals and this IGA may only be renewed in writing, agreed upon and executed by both parties.
Background
For approximately the last year and a half Glendale and the other west valley cities have been engaging in a strategic partnership exercise with Luke Air Force Base known as the Community Partnership Program or P4 Program. Recent changes in federal law have given the Air Force greater flexibility related to procuring goods and services that has allowed for the possibility of increased partnerships between Luke and the surrounding communities. This program has become a top priority for the Air Force as a result of the tightening federal defense budget. From the communities’ perspective, any opportunities to help Luke operate in a more efficient manner will be beneficial for the base’s long term success in the west valley. One important part of the P4 Program is that any partnerships must be mutually beneficial and provide benefit to all parties.
One opportunity is for Luke to contract with the City of Glendale for solid waste collection and associated services. The City of Glendale will collect and transport solid waste and recyclable material generated or accumulated at Luke Air Force Base. This material will be disposed of at the Glendale Municipal Landfill (Landfill) or recycled at the Materials Recovery Facility (MRF).
Analysis
Luke Air Force Base will be charged for the costs of collecting, transporting, and disposing of Solid Waste at the Landfill through a collections service fee for frontload service and a tipping fee for roll-off service. The revenue for these services has an estimated value of $184,962 in Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2016-17 and includes the maintenance of Luke Air Force Base owned frontload containers.
In addition, the city will collect, transport, and dispose of recycled materials at the MRF for a recycling fee. The revenue for this service has an estimated value of $69,936 in FFY 2016-17 and includes the city providing and maintaining 90 gallon recycling containers. The city will not compensate Luke Air Force Base for any Recyclable Material collected, transported, sorted, or processed at the MRF. The estimated value of these commodities after processing is approximately $15,000.
The collection, recycling, and tipping fees will increase 3% on October 1, 2019 and 3% on October 1, 2020.
Community Benefit/Public Involvement
The components of this IGA add to the future health, welfare, and prosperity of the residents of the Luke Air Force Base community. Additionally, the services provided under this agreement will provide a savings to the base compared to their current provider.
Budget and Financial Impacts
The City of Glendale will be compensated for the costs of collecting and transporting solid waste and recycling materials delivered to the MRF or disposed of at the Landfill.
